3 .2 Handling the stethoscope
Please note the points below to obtain perfect hearing quality.
• Put the stethoscope on your head so that the ear tips are pointing in your
direction of view. This ensures that the ear tips are put into the ear from the
back to suit the anatomy of the auditory canal.
• You can reduce the initial tension of the stethoscope and thus the pressure on
the auditory canal by taking the headset between your thumb and forefinger
and slowly pulling the limbs apart.
• If the initial tension is not enough to ensure that the stethoscope is firmly located
in the ear, you can increase it by taking the headset between your thumb and
forefinger and carefully pushing the limbs together.
• Check regularly that the ear tips are firmly attached to the ends of the headset.
NOTE: Switching over stethoscopes which have a double chest piece
• When using a stethoscope with a double chest piece, you need to ensure
that you have selected the right side for your intended purpose by turning
the chest piece. Only one side is ever activated for auscultation.
• The switch is made by rotating the chest piece 180 ° until you hear a click.
